Germany's record goalscorer Miroslav Klose matched Brazilian legend Ronaldo's record in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Ghana -- the same opposition against whom the Brazilian set the new mark in 2006.

Germany's record goalscorer Miroslav Klose wants another landmark all to himself that of the World Cup all-time goals haul having equalled Ronaldo's mark of 15 goals on Saturday.

The 36-year-old Poland-born striker, who is appearing at his fourth World Cup finals, matched Brazilian legend Ronaldo's record in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Ghana -- the same opposition against whom the Brazilian set the new mark in 2006 -- in Fortaleza.

Klose, who broke Gerd Mueller's German record prior to the finals, could get his chance to break the record playing against former German boss Jurgen Klinsmann's United States in Recife in their final Group G match on Thursday.

"I'm itching for it, I want to be the first. That's my big goal," said the Poland-born striker.

Klose drew level with the now retired Ronaldo as he showed his typical predatory instincts and stabbed home the 71st-minute equaliser less than two minutes after coming off the bench to spare Germany's blushes.
